Payment for winning Olympic medals varies by country.
The United States Olympic Committee pays its medal winners $25,000 to gold medal winners, $15,000 to those who take home a silver and $10,000 for a bronze. Some of the richer U.S. sport federations give additional prize money to their winners as well.
There are many appearances and endorsement deals that generally follow a gold medal winner.

they pay nothing. You get free lessons if the coaches think you have talent. The only way you get paid in the Olympics is if you are known or gold medal winner in Nationals. In regionals they don't care at all about you.
If you are in summer games not seen like the roller skating Olympics then you get nothing for national gold also ect. You get a medal like seen on the skate girls skate clips at www.facepaint.ws
If you are an ice skater and get a medal at NATIONALS you get money by companies wanting you do do ads or wear things with their logs ect.
